Japanese-Brazilian entrepreneur Nelson Sato, who imported such things as the Cybercop franchise to Brazil in the 1990’s, orchestrated this deal with Toei after his company released the above series on DVD previously (aside from Kamen Rider Black). An exact date for when these shows will be added to instant streaming on Netflix Brazil hasn’t been announced yet but another press release is incoming from Sato Company regarding these series and several others!

This title nearly fell off the radar, with Bandai Namco Games having released a sequel is coming down the pipe line. The first Lost Heroes game was released in 2012 and features characters from the Mobile Suit Gundam,Ultraman, and Kamen Rider franchises. Lost Heroes 2 also features new characters from the franchise in a battle system reminiscent to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. Those new heroes are:

Gundam:
Unicorn
F91
00 Raiser

Kamen Rider:
Black
Fourze
Wizard

Ultraman:
Leo
Tiga
Ginga

Kamen RIder Black RX and the 00 Quanta are also in the game, interestingly enough those two will be treated as form changes according to the trailer. Lost Heroes 2 will be released on the Nintendo 3DS console in February 15th 2015, a premium version is also available for purchase.

An interesting new story has hit the web, courtesy of the good people at The Tokusatsu Network:

Fan-favorite actor Tetsuo Kurata who portrayed Kamen Rider Black and Black RX will be returning to the world of tokusatsu in a new film production- AND the film in question will feature a new Black RX form!

While Toei’s latest cinematic project has not yet been officially confirmed, Kurata’s blog mentions a release in the Spring of 2015. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on any movie news!

In a bit of a surprise announcement, model car company Fujimi via Taghobby has announced that they’ll be diving into the world of Kamen Rider bikes, starting with Kamen Rider Black’s trusty ride: a 1/12th scale replica of the Battle Hopper!

The model kit will be coming out in October, retailing for 5000 yen and the kit itself will feature compound eyes ala S.H.Figuarts.

A few overhead shots of filming from the “Hesei VS Showa” Project have surfaced online!

The main image confirms that ALL main Rider suits are in use for this film. To date only a few Riders are confirmed to appear out of suit but we hope there may be more old favorites showing up to surprise everyone.

In addition, a number of classic Rider villains are also on-set, including the Crisis Empire from Kamen Rider Black & the Badan from Kamen Rider ZX.

Be sure to join our discussion thread to share your thoughts & fears for this new project! “Hesei VS Showa” comes to theaters March 29, 2014!
